Inhaltsangabe

This work presents a summary of the Vlach Grammar in English and Greek. The Vlach language is defined as the language of the Latinophone nomads inhabiting the Pindos Mountains in HEPEIROS. This language has been spoken since the 2nd century B.C. and it has been sporadically written since the 16th century AD. The Latinophones were spread into small groups of people appointed by the Romans to guard the mountain passages of the Roman Empire. They turned into nomadic life out of necessity. Typical among those people were "the Hepeirotes", or the inhabitants of Hepeiros, the mainland in the northwest corner of Greece, the descendants of the ancient Mollossoi and Haones. Vlach Grammar has the fundamental structure and the basic rules of Latin and it shows that it has had some contact with Romanian, as well as it bears extensive signs of contact with Greek to a sizeable fraction of its vocabulary. So, Vlach in a first approach, was compared with Latin and Romanian and similarities and differences observed were pointed out. Grammar rules observed were collected laboriously and were listed in the paragraphs in a logical manner. The result that came out is an "amateur's Grammar" of an "amateur's Language".
